My Plan for Sutton, Cheam & Worcester Park

1. Protect and enhance valued local health services

2. Secure more great school places for all children in Sutton

3. Make high street parking easier so local shops thrive

4. Improve transport links to give commuters a better quality of life

5. Take HGVs off residential roads surrounding Kimpton Park

6. A new GP surgery on the Sutton Hospital site

I have lived in Sutton for 28 years, building a small business and raising a family. Both my children were born in St Helier Hospital and educated in Sutton schools. I understand the local issues that concern you because I shop in the same shops and drive on the same roads.

A regular volunteer at St Helier Hospital, a school governor, a governor at SCOLA and a former Councillor in Sutton, I have a record of standing up for local people.

I remain determined to provide the people of Sutton with a strong voice in Westminster.

I am urging local charities and community groups to consider applying for a share of over £4 million of funding raised by players of People’s Postcode Lottery. Applications for the latest round of funding are now open and will close on the 28th August.

Last year, Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR), the parent company of Southern and Thameslink, launched a consultation which sets out proposed changes to the timetable which will be operated by GTR in 2018. The second phase of their consultation on the 2018 timetable has now started. GTR’s plans are designed to provide more reliable services, with more capacity for passengers.

Following the tragic news that started coming through last night of the fire in Grenfell Tower, Kensington, many residents have contacted me about the safety of tall buildings in Sutton, such as Chaucer House.
